$1,000 given him under peculiar circumstances
by Miss Catherine Quinn. Miss Quinn was in
jured by falling into street excavation, and
sued the city for $4,000 damages. She
awarded s., 900. but the fact that several of the
witnesses swore contrary to Miss Quinn to the
location of the hole, preyed upon her mind
that she took the money to her priest. request
ing him to return il to the city, saying that, al
though without any means of support. she could
not conscientiously retain it. Miss Quinns in
iures seemed to grow worse, and she was COM
PEELED TO go TO the hospital again for treatment
After recovering so TO be able TO go about she
called on the priest TO what disposition he
had made of the money. Not receiving any
satisfactory explanation. and falling to find any

THE NEW C1vIL-sERvIcE RULES.

Democrats Boldly Avow Their Purpose-Re-
publicans To Be "weeded Out"
Washington Special
OF course administration partisans attempt to
defend on high grounds the new scheme to get
rid OF clerks in the classified service who are
Republicans. They declare that only the ''in-
competent" and ''ineffcient" need fear the appli-
cation of the new rules But some of the Dem
ocratic heads of bureaus and heads of divisions
are just as sincere and probably quits as candid.
when they declare that 1--WE can get rid of the
dead wood now" 1--WE can weed out the Repub-
lcans now" 'tYes, Republican clerks will have
to walk the plank" These and like expressions
have been frequent on the lips of Democratic
''reformers" since the rules were ap-
proved by President Cleveland. Some OF the
persons who commend the changes for other
than partisan reasons lay stress on the provision
which enables the head OF bureau or depart
ment virtually to control the result of the ex-
nminatons in his jurisdiction by giving him the
power to mark the grade of each clerk as TO
efficiency" Mr.. Oberly seems 20 be especially
gratifed by this provision. He is quoted as say
ing'
Besides this, the head OF the bureau marks
the efficiency of the applicant for promotion by
the record of the clerk; by the record he she
has made. The head of the bureau is presumed
to know the qualification of the clerks under
him. He marks the efficiency, and what he
marks the board takes and counts TO the credit
of the person. That allows the head of the bu-
reau to outweigh any tests as to the capacity the
industry and regularity of attendance Of the ap-
plicant"
In practice. the head of bureau, If it be a
large one, will depend to a great extent on the
heads OF divisions. Many of these men are
Democratic partsans of the Higgins type. Be
tween them and such heads of bureaus as Black,
Sparks, McConvle, Williams and a score of
others. the number OF Republican who will re-
ceive efficiency" marks will be amazingly small
In fact, the very provision which Commissioner
Oherly praises is probably the most dangerous
in the rules. far the tenure Of
clerks of Republican proclivities is concerned.
1t required a stretch of auth ority for the Com
missioner to make and the President TO ap-
prove, rule which requires clerks 10 compete
for promotion willy nilly. The law designed
provide for competitive examination to as
certain the fitness of applicants for appointment
promotion; IL was not designed TO compel q
clerk to become applicant for promotion.

False Report of Parneils Death Causes a
Sensation in London.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, May 1.-The alarming rumors
which have been in circulation the last few
days concerning the condition of Mr.. Parnelps
health, increasing in circumstantiality OF de-
tail as they were repeated, eliminated to-
day in the unqualified report of the Irish
was made after the House had assembled and
while the crimes bill was under consideration in
committee, and for time overwhelmed all
other topics within the precincts of Westmin-
ster, and especially in the lobby of the House,
where the most bitter of the Tory members
evinced quite as deep interest in ascertaining
its truth as did their Home rule opponents.
The strenuous denials of the truth of the re-
port by several of the prominent Irish
leaders had the effect to cast doubt upon its ac-
curacy, but there were among their Nationalist
colleagues many who, while not creditinG the re-
port of their leaders death. believed 1T to have
been based upon nothing less serious than his
serious or perhaps dangerous illness, aud their
the arrival of authentic information to the con-
trary. This information was of the most con-
vincing sort, being nothing less vague than
telegram from Mr.. Parnell himself, stating that
he would leave Avondale this evening and
rive in London tomorrow morning Further,
he said that he was very much improved in
health, and expected to take his seat in Parlia-
ment to morrow evening. Subsequently. dis
patch was received stating that Mr.. Parnell had
left Avondale for london.
